When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
I will not look at the specs until I have heard the speakers in question.  Many of the specs are stretched a bit so unless John Atkinson has tested them to confirm or deny, the specs don’t mean all that much to me.  I am another believer in a high... 
Dust in the window
I don’t think anything could beat your story, here’s mine. The second floor of our home is one huge room with a third of it partitioned off as a walk in closet.  My wife keeps telling me we have to change the wall to wall, everything has to be tho... 
Comparing Speaker Cables
@missioncoonery ,  you beat me to it.   
Does Kronos Sparta turntable come with a tonearm?
What about looking into a Trans Rotor turntable?  It has the dual platters.  
Guns and Roses Appetite For Destruction remastered, and Pink Floyd, The Later Years.
That shows that all remasters are not created equal.    
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
I purchased a Bellari EQ and a SVS PB2000 Pro subwoofer to compliment the JBL L100 Classics I had purchased in mid December 2020   I also purchased two pairs of Blue Jean interconnects to connect the EQ.   
Sony HAP-Z1ES file transfer BROKEN!!!
Well, that really sucks for us HAP users.  Thats what I hate about Sony, they come out with a good player and then hardly ever update the software and pretty much abandon their customers.  They did the same with SACD!  I have been asking them to a... 
JTR Speakers, why so much?
They look too home theaterish for my taste.  For that kind of money, get a pair of Klipsch Forte IV or Cornwalls IV.   
Onkyo CP 1050 Turntable OPINIONS
I believe the table went for $350 new, is that what you have to pay for it?  
Speaker cable shootout Townsend Audio Fractal F1, Fidelium, AA Statement e SC Cryo rhodium
Do we have to click I am not a robot for every time we post?   Major inconvenience.  
How to tame a bright system?
What everyone else said, "change the speakers".  I was in your situation once, I changed everything from all electronics to all the cables, and guess what?  The brightness was still there.  I finally "got it" and replaced the speakers but that arr... 
Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first.
You can get the Jays transport or the Cambridge Audio one. Both are full sized and most likely won’t fall off the shelf for being light weight. I am having the same problem with my Bellari 5 band EQ. I put my unused Project Record weight on top of... 
Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust.
I bought mine at 2017 RMAF for a lot of coin and now it is ng?  I am so tired of spending big bucks on something everyone raves about only to find out it is complete junk.  Just goes to show even we seasoned audiophiles can still get scammed.    
Building my 1st real system. Need advice. Hoping to pair Luxman507uxii/Dyaudio Evoke20.
The only recommendations you will get here  are what people already own or have owned.   
CJ Solid State Amp with McIntosh Tube Preamp
I owned both the MF2550and Rogue RP5. I currently own the McIntosh C2500. I love the C2500 and the RP5. I never used either with the C2500. I didn’t really care for the CJ MF2550 but I was using it with the AI Modulus 3B preamp. It sounded very sl...
